* x86, vdso: Finish removing VDSO32_PRELINKAndy Lutomirski2014-03-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | It's a declaration of a nonexistent symbol. We can get rid of the 64-bit versions, too, but that's more intrusive.

* x86, vdso: Move more vdso definitions into vdso.hAndy Lutomirski2014-03-201-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | This fixes the Xen build and gets rid of a silly header file.

* x86: Load the 32-bit vdso in place, just like the 64-bit vdsosAndy Lutomirski2014-03-201-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces a decent amount of incomprehensible and buggy code with much more straightforward code. It also brings the 32-bit vdso more in line with the 64-bit vdsos, so maybe someday they can share even more code. This wastes a small amount of kernel .data and .text space, but it avoids a couple of allocations on startup, so it should be more or less a wash memory-wise.

* x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 32 bit kernelStefani Seibold2014-03-181-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add the time support for 32 bit a VDSO to a 32 bit kernel. For 32 bit programs running on a 32 bit kernel, the same mechanism is used as for 64 bit programs running on a 64 bit kernel.

* x86, vdso: Remove compat vdso supportAndy Lutomirski2014-03-131-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain compatibility with a small range of glibc versions. This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default. This also changes the default value of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to n -- users configuring kernels from scratch almost certainly want that choice.

* x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variablesAndy Lutomirski2011-05-241-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are currently a bit of a mess. They are each defined with their own magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page, and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really exist. This changes them all to use a common mechanism. All of them are delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker script). In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary read-write variables. In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access. The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups. As a side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of indirection is removed. While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same cacheline.
